Communications Methods used on my job
A critical part of the communication model is the channel through which information
is transmitted. There are two main types of channels: Verbal and nonverbal. Verbal communication includes any oral or written method of transmitting meaning through words. Nonverbal communication is any part of communication that does not use words. On my job we use both verbal and nonverbal communication to save money the school system decided to go paperless, so to rely information to the staff the schools now use email as a form of communicating, email tend to be the preferred medium for sending well defined information to staff. It tend to increase the volume of communication and significantly alter the flow of information throughout the school. For staff it reduces a great deal of face to face meetings with our principal . While the staff like using email to communicate we must use the telephone on a daily basis to communicate with parents, to set un conferences and to make them aware when there are problems and concerns with their children. We also use written communication with parents to inform them of their child’s behavior on a daily basis. But there is nothing like face to face contact, so we set up monthly meetings with parents to allow them to voice any concerns or suggestions to help their children better, at those meeting they also sign any paper work that may need their attention.
The key to being successful in all the communication method we use is to remember that communication is not an event, but a process.
